I run a toy robot company called Modular Robotics. We're bringing our robotic construction kit to market and plan to have kits available on April 1, 2010.
In 2008-2009 I was a Visiting Scientist at the Cornell Computational Synthesis Lab in Ithaca, New York. In 2008, I finished my PhD from the Computational Design Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University where I worked on roBlocks and the Erstwhile Agent, an evolutionary design program for modular robotic constructions. Modular Robotics was just featured on local TV and in the O'Reilly Radar blog.
